A specific methodology for these activities has not been prepared because the contribution to total national emissions is thought to be currently insignificant, i.e. less than 1% of national emissions of any pollutant. If you have information contrary to this please contact the expert panel leaders.

Based on in vitro studies and short-term in vivo studies, all mercurials were for a long time considered as prototypic immunosuppressive substances. Recent studies have confirmed that organic mercurials such as methyl mercury (MeHg) and ethyl mercury (EtHg) are much more potent immunosuppressors than inorganic mercury (Hg). However, Hg interacts with the immune system in the presence of a susce...

A large and diverse group of organic compounds is reported to "regulate" plant growth. Many of the determinations of growth regulation, however, do not measure the accelerating effects on growth but the inhibition of growth or toxicity effects. Such evidence does not suffice to identify the substances as growth regulators which may either accelerate or inhibit the growth process depending upon ...

The last Faraday Society Discussions on Electrode Processes were held in 1947 and marked the onset of an extensive fruitful post-war development of fast reaction techniques in electrochemistry. Considerable information has since been obtained on rate constants of simple inorganic electron transfers, paralleling a similar development in homogeneous reactions, and on electron transfer theory. A t...
